A Life With out Them…
By Lady Yukina
A/N: I do not own Gundam Wing or any of the characters!
Tears continued to be shed. The feeling of being alone couldn't be shaken, they couldn't help it.
Chapter 2
Three months later…
"No, means no, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" Milliardo's jaw tightened, "There's no way I'm allowing it! I am one of their 'legal' guardians and you are not allowed to do such action!"
"If you pester me any longer, I will sue you and your company from violating my family's private life!"
With those words, he slammed the phone back to its place.
'Damn it, why can't they just leave the children alone…' Milliardo took a deep sigh and sunk his back on his chair, '… they do not deserve this'
Milliardo was so deep on his thoughts that he didn't hear anyone came inside his office. He came back to his senses when a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Millie? You ok?"
When Milliardo looked up, he found the owner of the voice. It was his wife Noin.
"Lu, I'm sorry… I was distracted…" He said.
"Was that them again?" Noin asked, knowing the answer when she heard her husband slam the phone down from outside.
"Yeah, they've been at it for the past 2 and half months now! I swear, I'll shut their company down if they continue this charade!" Milliardo tighten his fist, "They have no right what so ever!"
"No, they don't… We have legal papers with signatures also 50 witnesses that will claim that we are the children's legal guardians!" Noin added, "The Gundam Pilot's are also their legal guardians…"
"Exactly, but they believe it would be on the best interest of the children," Milliardo snort, "Yeah, sure… The kids won't even hear of it when I asked them 2 days ago…"
"I don't blame them," Noin smiled softly, "Quatre and Dorothy are over there now with them until next week then it will be Trowa and Cathy's turn…"
"Good, at least they will be with the people they grew up with and so they won't be too lonely in that house…" Milliardo sighed deeply again, "…continue to keep an eye around the area outside the wall of the mansion, just in case any attempt…"
Noin have to giggle, "Since Heero trained over 15 pure Labradors and 10 German Shepard's roaming the grounds at night, I don't think anyone else could do any better to protect the children…"
"At least he thought those beasts to listen to kids or they would have rip Duo's throat off when he came to the house in the middle of the night…" Milliardo remembered the night when Duo has been bitten over 8 times in different areas, "That was a nasty sight…"
"Sally said that Duo is re-cooperating just fine, he just needs to take it easy for the next 2 months…" Noin smirk, "But knowing Duo, he will be back on his feet in no time…"
Milliardo have to agree on that. Really, none of the ex-pilots have ever stayed in bed in more than a few days or so after being beaten and bruised from a battle.
"Well, let's just keep an eye out…" Milliardo said strictly, "I don't want any of those bastards from the Child Agency coming in the house bothering them…"
"M.J is a strong girl; she can handle her own…" Noin assured him, "Kai and Jasmine aren't bad either, I heard they have two of the dogs lose to chase a couple of agents away…"
Milliardo have to laugh at that, the Yuy kids have spunk and they are brilliant among any others.
"…that's what happened when they mix an ex-Gundam pilot and a Pacifist" Milliardo sighed for the 3rd time, "They produce geniuses…"
Noin laugh and kissed his cheek, "They are not the only ones dear!"
Milliardo groaned, "…I know"
PeaceCraft/Yuy Mansion:
The house was filled with the scent of baking. The sound of soft orchestra and giggling of children tells that there was something going on.
In the kitchen, Jasmine and Kai were on their knees playing with one of the German Shepard named: Tama.
"Her belly is getting bigger!" Kai was very surprised, "There's puppies inside of that? How can they fit in there?"
Pegan laughed, "Young sir, the puppies are small when they are inside their Mother's womb!"
Kai thought for a second and then smiled, "Just like when Yukari was on Mommy's tummy?"
Pegan was to be taken back, Kai was talking about it his Mother casually these past few days, "Well, yes, just like when Little Yukari was…"
Whenever the children mention one of their parents, they were careful enough not to upset them with their answers. It's been only over a month, as much as they would like to look strong and happy in front of the others. At night, they would cry themselves to sleep.
"Young sir, young miss? The cookies are ready!" Lila announced.
Jasmine and Kai cheered as they jumped to their feet and rushed towards the sink to wash their hands. They seated themselves on the table which Lila smiled.
'For being the children of the most popular pacifist in the world and space and the famous ex-Gundam pilot who saved us all… They're just like any normal-middle class children…' Lila smiled at them and placed a plate with two chunks of chocolate homemade cookies, "Enjoy!"
The kids dig in while Pegan and Lila watched with amusement.
Somewhere in the living area, a soft melody can be heard. The piece was graceful and well played; the sound carried a whisper of old tale lovers and the atmosphere of romance.
Maria Juliet PeaceCraft Yuy was playing the grand piano. Eyes close as she played the piece, no music sheet in sight. The motion was like a dance and she was the center of attention, she began to sing.
Lately, in my dreams
I have witness a sweet kiss
Under the cherry tree
It was magical
And sweet
It was lovely
And true
The heart never lies
When it comes
To falling in love
I am the witness of lovely-sweet
The judge of Heaven
I spread my wings and watched
All the lovers in my dreams
They will laugh
At all the silly things
Cry when they are in pain
Upset when one is wrong
And unfair
But that is what love is all about
Reality is always there
She continued to play until a hand touched her shoulder. M.J stopped and looked up. It was Quatre.
"Uncle Quatre! I'm sorry, I didn't realized you were there!" she have given him a sweet smiled.
'…that's not her real smile' Quatre thought sadly but brushed it off, "I just came in and I heard you play."
"You have such a beautiful voice M.J!"
M.J couldn't help but blush at the comment, she shook her head.
"No, I'm not that good. I learn a few basic but that was from listening to the radio!" She giggled, "I joined the choir club and learned a little bit more too."
"Well, that's good! Keep it up and you might get a singing career!" Quatre said encouraging her, "Why don't you try taken lessons?"
"Take lessons?" M.J blinked, "I…I d-don't know about that Uncle Quatre! I mean… with everything being the way it is… I just don't see the…"
Her words were caught when Quatre laid a single singer on her lips.
"They will wish for you to be happy M.J and for your siblings as well," Quatre started, "I know for sure that they would want you to follow up on something you love to do…"
M.J sat there for a moment before nodding.
"It seems like its very strange thou," M.J said softly, "It's like they were never gone even thou they are…"
Quatre took both of her hands, "What do you think?"
M.J looked up to her uncle. Tears in her eyes and her body were starting to shake a little, "I don't know…"
"I know that I have to live on with my life but I just can't accept that they are both gone! I don't know what to do!" She rested her forehead on Quatre's chest, "I'm 10 years old! I'm scared and I have no idea what to do!"
She began to let her tears drop to her pretty face, clutching her fingers unto Quatre's shirt.
"There, there… Sweetie, calm down…" He said softly as he brushed her hair back with his fingers, "None of us accept of what happened to them… But we need to pull our selves together and live on…"
"That's what they want you and your siblings to do…"
M.J sniffed and dried her eyes, she looked up to him.
"I know but it's just too hard," M.J blinked away more tears, "But I'm going to try my best and be a good sister to Jasmine, Kai and Yukari…"
"For me and for my parents…"
Quatre smiled and kissed her forehead, "That's a good girl…"
"You're Aunt Dorothy and I will be on the foyer with Yukari and the twins if you need us. Kai and Jasmine are in the kitchen with Pagan. Why don't you get some rest for a bit to clear your head?"
M.J gave him a sincere smile and nod.
Quatre smiled and walked out of the room, "That's a small progress. That's the 1st real smile I've seen in the past 3 months…"
Once she knew he was out of the room. M.J stood up from the stool and walked out as well. The familiar hall that leads to her bedroom seem like a tunnel, her eyes began to fog again. Leaning against the wall, she shut her eyes closed.
'I have to become strong! For Jasmine, Kai and Yukari! For my parents…' She yelled to her self, 'I'm a Yuy! I'm strong! I'm also a PeaceCraft; I can do anything when I put my mind to it!'
She opened her eyes, she bit her lower lip. Tears began to fall again.
"I promise you… I won't fail… I'll move on but before that…" M.J wipes her tears away, "I'll bring justice to whoever took both of you away from us! I swear I will!"
Looking straight across from her, a large frame was hanged on the wall. With a beautiful loving smile on their faces, they look back at her. It was a picture of Heero and Relena on their wedding day.
"I'll become strong, I will…"
